194. Take Me As I Am

1 Jesus my Lord, to Thee I cry:
Unless Thou help me, I must die;
Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,
And take me as I am.

Chorus:
Take me as I am,
Take me as I am;
Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,
And take me as I am.

2 Helpless I am, and full of guilt,
But yet Thy blood for me was spilt:
And Thou canst make me what Thou wilt,
But take me as I am. [Chorus]

3 No preparation can I make,
My best resolves I only break;
Yet save me for Thine own name's sake,
And take me as I am. [Chorus]

4 I thirst, I long to know Thy love,
Thy full salvation I would prove;
But since to Thee I cannot move,
Oh, take me as I am. [Chorus]
